LAST.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed May 8, 1913. Serial No. 766,252.

To all whom it may concern Be 1t known that I, JOHN C. SGHELTEE, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lasts, of

- which the following is a specification.

992,015, dated May 9, 1911. It relates partieularly to a last having the pivoted looking member provided with an oflset lug positioned above the pivot point and this invention relates to means for so constructing the last and the locking member and spring that the spring supporting lug may have freedom of movement necessarily due to the pivotal construction of the lever and at the same time positively support the spring in all positions of the lug.

In the drawing herewith accompanying and making a part of this application, Figure 1 is an elevation partly in section; Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the heel part of the last the movable partsbeing omitted; and Fig. 3 is a detail of the movable interlocking member.

Same reference characters indicate like parts in the several figures.

In said drawing A represents the fore part and B the heel part of a divided last bonded together by links C which permit one part of the last to move relative to the other. Set in one part of the last is a fixed interlocking member D, and pivotally mounted in the other member is a movableinterlocking member E. The member E is pivoted near the bottom as at F and above said pivot point said member is provided with an oflt'set lug G. To receive this lug and to permit movement therein the last part containing the pivot member is provided with a recess H which is necessarily larger than the size of the offset to permit the member to swing on its pivot. Mounted in a bore H back of said recess is a spring 1, its free end extending into said recess and into engagement with said. lug. To prevent the end of the spring from becoming disengaged from the offset, the offset is provided with means for retaining the end of the spring, preferably a recess J on the back side thereof adapted to admit the end of the spring. The offset maybe provided with a pin K adapted to project into the core of the spring a suflicient distance to retain the end of the spring upon the offset.

Having thus described my invention and its use, I claim:

1. A transversely divided last having its parts movably joined together, interlocking members mounted in said parts, one movable and provided with a spring supporting lug above the pivot point,'the last part supporting said movable member being provided with an enlarged lug receiving recess,

a spring supported in said last part and adapted to extend into said recess and engage said lug, and means for holding said spring upon said lug.

2-. A transversely divided lasthaving its parts movably joined together, interlocking members mounted in said parts, one movable and provided with a spring supporting lug above the pivot point, the last part supporting said movable member being provided with an enlarged lug receiving recess, and a spring supported in said last part and adapted toextend into said recess and engage said lug, said lug being provided with a socket adapted to receive and hold the free end of said spring in engagement with said lug.
